Such highly appreciative words were the first time Wan Xiushang had heard them from his father's mouth.

Could it be that the one named Chu Yue is really so good?

Wan Xiushang twisted his eyebrows, he really didn't know what to do, on the one hand, he was his biological father, and on the other hand, he was his beloved younger brother, no matter which side he helped, the other side was destined to be hurt; But seeing his father, who seemed to be a few years older all of a sudden, leaning on the back of the chair, Wan Xiushang couldn't bear it.

He knows very well how much he cares about Wanjia in his father's heart, as his father said, Wanjia can have today, how many people's sacrifices have been paid, and their heirs want to continue such glory and wealth, someone must stand up and continue to sacrifice; Father's age is always old, and he can't be stimulated anymore, and the second brother, he is still young after all, and there are still many choices for him in love, without a Chu Yue, there will be other women to accompany him in the future instead of Chu Yue.

At this moment of thinking, Wan Xiushang had already made a decision in his heart, grabbed his father's hand, and said, "Father, you can rest in peace, my son knows what to do." ”

Wan Yujue looked at the eldest son he had cultivated with his own hands, and placed high hopes on him, and said: "Shang'er, the lives of hundreds of people in my family, and the glory of hundreds of people, are all going to be handed over to you in the future; As the elder of everyone, we must take care of our own families, and we must learn to be ruthless, because only by being ruthless can we get what we want; In this world, nothing and no one is benevolent, and only competition is the only way for us to survive. Your sister, you have to protect her, Wanjia, you have to protect him too, do you understand? ”

Wan Xiushang felt that the burden on his body was extremely heavy, but he knew that this was what he had to bear.

"The son understands, father, you take a break, the imperial doctor is coming soon, and the son is with you."

"Good boy! It's Daddy's good boy! Wan Yujue gently patted Wan Xiushang's hand and slowly closed his eyes.

He was really tired, it was the first time in all these years that he had moved so much, and he was still vomiting blood from anger; Sure enough, this child is really the debt of his parents, who would have thought that Prime Minister Wan, who can call the wind and rain in the court, would be angry with his own son like this.

……

Wan Xiuran was directly taken by the guards in the mansion to the southernmost corner of the mansion and locked up, it stands to reason that there is a dungeon in the mansion, which is specially used to detain the subordinates who make mistakes in the mansion to be tried or people with ill intentions who are arrested, but Wan Xiuran's identity is special, so naturally he can't be locked up there.

And Wan Xiuran knew from the moment he was locked up that he was completely controlled, thinking of Chu Xingyue, who was still waiting for him to go back in the Tinglan courtyard, he was so anxious that he kept tossing and shouting in the locked house, smashing all the tables and chairs in the room, but still no one dared to make the decision and let him out.

When Wan Xiuran came to visit him in the courtyard where Wan Xiuran was detained, although Wan Xiuran was angry, he finally calmed down, sitting alone on the cold ground, ignoring the mess all over the ground, the whole person seemed to have been greatly impacted, where was there still a trace of the past romance, and the whole body was full of depression and forbearance.

Wan Xiushang put the food box in his hand in front of Wan Xiuran, took out the meals prepared in the food box in turn, raised his head and looked at the noon sun outside, and persuaded: "I heard that you didn't have breakfast in the morning, and threw away all the food brought by your subordinates; Dye'er, you have to remember that the body is the most important, don't grind yourself because of some small things. ”

Smelling the fragrance of the food and listening to the words full of concern, Wan Xiuran smiled, and his smile was full of sarcasm: "Big brother, you also stood on your father's side, right?" You also think that Yue'er should be sent to the palace to serve the waste emperor, don't you? ”

"How many times have I told you, don't say that the emperor is a waste, even if you say it behind your back."

"Then tell me, what should I call him? Big brother, don't you agree that our Son of Heaven is a waste? Wan Xiuran slowly stood up with his legs that were a little numb, and looked at his closest brother since he was a child.

Wan Xiushang closed his eyes with no choice, and when he opened his eyes again, there was guilt and helplessness in his eyes: "I know, you are angry in your heart, you are very angry, angry that your father made such a decision, but Dye'er, you must know that the eldest sister is not having a good time in the palace, and there are indeed other daughters in the Wan family besides the eldest sister, but do you think that my father will send our other little sisters into the palace?" ”

So my father fell in love with Yue'er, who had no parents by her side and no power to rely on, her father was bullying her, bullying her for being powerless to struggle, bullying her and only resigning herself to her fate; Big brother, let me ask you, what would you do if this happened to your sister-in-law today? Do you send your favorite wife into the palace to serve other men? Agree with his father's decision to be an incompetent man who has no responsibility and wins everything he wants by sacrificing women? ”

Wan Xiushang said unhappily: "Don't implicate this matter on your sister-in-law, how can she Chu Yue be compared to your sister-in-law." ”

Wan Xiuran glared, and also roared angrily: "Why can't it be compared? Is it just because the sister-in-law is everyone's best girl, and Yue'er is just a merchant girl with an inconspicuous identity? Big brother, I always thought that you were different from my father, but now it seems that I want to go wrong, you are the eldest son raised by your father himself, and you have learned your father's set of theories and practices perfectly, what kind of person your father is, what kind of person you will be; It was because I was too naïve and stupid before, thinking that bringing Yue'er back to Wanfu would give her a stable life, but I didn't expect that I brought her into the fire pit, and watched her fall in, but there was no way to save her. ”

Wan Xiu was still anxious, and said: "Ran'er, can you not imagine that the matter is so serious, I admit that we are indeed sorry for you and her in this matter, but we are also helpless; Concubine Li's mother in the palace is too popular, and if this continues, the eldest sister will have no sense of existence in front of the emperor at all, which is definitely not a good phenomenon for our family; At this time, as the children of the Wan family, we should do everything we can to prevent this kind of thing from happening. Moreover, Chu Yue is just an ordinary merchant girl, she can rely on Wanjia to enter the palace to serve the Son of Heaven, that is her blessing, and when she gives birth to the imperial heir in the future, there will be even greater blessings waiting for her, this kind of blessing is something that many women can't ask for. ”

"But did you ask her, do you really want this blessing? Also, is it a blessing for her to serve that waste? Big brother, because you should know how smart the eldest sister is, a woman like her can't pinch that waste emperor in the palm of her hand and send the innocent Yue'er into the palace, this is like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, you are harming her. ”

Wan Xiushang said calmly, "If you are worried about this, you can rest assured; After sending her to the palace, the eldest sister will definitely take good care of her, and she is the righteous daughter of her father, and the servants serving in the palace dare not bully her in the face of the Wan family; As for whether she can attract Emperor Xuanjing to her side, you know this best, don't you? At first, I was worried that she would not be able to fulfill our trust in her, but when I went to Tinglan Courtyard to meet her in person, I knew that Emperor Xuanjing would definitely like her deeply after seeing her. Dye'er, people like you who have seen thousands of flowers bloom can have a soft spot for her, and Emperor Xuanjing will also hold her in the palm of his hand and take care of her like a treasure. ”

Wan Xiuran took a big step forward and looked at Wan Xiushang aggressively: "You went to Tinglan Courtyard, did you see Yue'er?" What did you do to her? What was said to her? ”

Looking at Wan Xiuran, who was about to pull his collar, Wan Xiushang, who had practiced martial arts since he was a child, clasped his hand and stopped his movements, saying: "I didn't do anything to her, I just wanted to go and see her, I can see that although she is a little bold, she is an obedient and well-behaved Keer person; Moreover, I told her about you. ”

Wan Xiuran's eyes widened suddenly, "You told her about my situation?" ”

"That's right, you didn't come back all night, she was very worried about you, she stood in front of me and cried all the time, she will know about this sooner or later, rather than this, it is better to tell the truth about your situation, and you don't have to hide it from her."

Wan Xiuran seemed to have been drained of all his strength, his hands drooped, and asked, "Did she say anything?" Was she disappointed in me? I promised her that I would protect her and cherish her, but these promises were not fulfilled. ”

Wan Xiushang said: "She didn't say anything, she just agreed to my father's proposal before I left, recognized my father as my father-in-law, and entered the palace to help the eldest sister." ”

"What do you say? This can't be, Yue'er won't do this, she won't leave me. ”

Looking at the second brother who was about to go crazy again, Wan Xiushang held his shoulder, controlled his restless and angry body, looked at his bloodshot eyes because of exhaustion, and said, "Dye'er, do you think I will still deceive you at such a time?" Tomorrow, she will be sent to the palace by her father, and when she enters the palace, I will let you out. ”

"No, big brother, don't! Please let me out now, let me out now, I want to see her, you must have blackmailed her, you must have bullied her, otherwise, she will not leave me, she will never leave me. ”

Even if he quarreled with Wan Yujue last night, Wan Xiuran didn't shed a single tear, but today, when he heard the news that Chu Xingyue was about to enter the palace, he cried, crying like a child who was afraid of being abandoned, and his whole heart was about to break when he cried, just to leave the person he liked.
